Layered email security has protected sensitive research and still flags phishing in real time
The valuable features of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) include providing an additional layer of protection, as it builds on the basic Exchange level of security that allows us to get our work done. Another feature I appreciate is the ability to question things, as our Exchange server allows us to identify in real-time if an email is a phishing email or spam email. It really helps us identify risks, especially through our external exchanges via email or through our cloud-based platforms. Our Exchange system blocks any embedded AI from all our applications and products, so we cannot use embedded AI in our daily work from our official laptops because we have secure information. The system is quite locked down.

A stable and scalable solution to deal with spam and phishing emails
It is difficult for me to talk about areas that require improvement in the solution since I am quite new to the product, but I know that Vade provides an MSP solution. Vade Cloud Email Security doesn't provide sandboxing functionality. The lack of sandboxing functionality cannot be considered a weakness since there are other solutions to deal with faster when it comes to sandboxing. Overall it is a good solution with which we work in our company, so I don't see any clear weaknesses in the solution. It can take a long time for customers to study and operate straight away in a sandbox environment. The solution is okay if it makes the job faster for its users. I don't see ISO 27001 in Vade Cloud Email Security. While functioning on the solution, sometimes a customer needs to have a conformity level of SOC 1 or SOC 2 or some other conformity level. I did not see the aforementioned conformity levels added to Vade Cloud Email Security. Concerning a bank, data can be confidential, and when a bank needs to exchange or transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the tool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"With Microsoft Exchange Online Protection, if malware is attached to a mailer, it's very easy to go into the incident alert and find out what's happening with that identity and the mail."
"The threat management feature includes policies and alerts that are valuable."
"The simplicity and the easy deployment ensure that anybody who has worked on Exchange can easily work on this."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection is the accidental release of information protection capabilities, and additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"It's definitely scalable."
"We can migrate seamlessly without any disruptions to our operations."
"The scalability is pretty good; it does what it is supposed to do."
"The solution's stability is very, very good. I didn't face any problems in the last year."
"The most valuable features of the solution are how the product works against phishing and provides centralization, allowing users to recognize phishing emails."
 

Cons

"The solution lacks to elaborate on its spam policies."
"Besides price, the main room for improvement includes the sandbox or something similar; the usability that solutions are focused on."
"The user interface of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) has room for improvement, as at times it doesn't make sense where to go to access certain features."
"Microsoft 365 Defender and EOP policies are stable with the proper license. However, with the basic policy, it's hard to say it's stable due to configuration limitations."
"I think the implementation could be more streamlined."
"The solution can be complex at times. It would be nice to have the on-server version. It needs to improve the stability as well."
"Online Protection has an issue in that it doesn't provide an option to stop impersonation."
"The product needs more granularity. Some features, like encryption, are not available."
"Vade Cloud Email Security doesn't provide sandboxing functionality...when a bank needs to exchange or transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution falls on the higher or more expensive side of the spectrum."
"The price of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection is reasonable."
"Microsoft Exchange Online Protection is a good solution at an affordable price. It is a good investment."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a six. For licensing, we can make monthly or yearly payments. Right now, we pay 5 USD per month to secure a person's license."
"The solution should reduce the cost."
"The tool's pricing is excellent."
"The product's pricing is competitive for the US market."
"It is a low-price solution."
"It is a competitively-priced solution in the market...There are no additional payments for maintenance or support."
